customize timescale label in Gantt Chart

[Alison]

How can I create a custom label for the timescale in Gantt?
i.e. would like to display "week" label as 06/10/10 - 06/10/17 (example
only).

Thanks!

Alison,
The date format used by Project is the one set for Windows under
Regional and Language Options. And it turns out that there is an option
for yy/mm/dd but be aware that this will affect date presentations for
all windows applications.

Thanks, John. But I my bigger question is around displaying a "week" label
as the date of the Monday (or Sunday or whatever), then a hyphen, followed by
the date of the Friday (or Sat... etc.)

So the label would have a "from" date - "to" date.

Any suggestions?

Alison,
OK, different question. Sorry, week labels are for the starting day of
the week only as set under Tools/Options/Calendar tab. The only way to
get what you want is with an export to another application (e.g. Excel)
where the column heading can be formatted any way desired.
